Chef Calli didn’t just cook us dinner, she orchestrated a four-course symphony in the middle of a surprise-party inception scheme. We had two surprise guests. One thought she was helping set up a surprise party for the other, who had no idea anyone was being surprised. Timing had to be down to the minute, expectations had to be managed. And we wanted the food to be flawless. No pressure! Calli nailed it. The smoked Caesar came out like it had been kissed by the gods of fire and umami. The spicy penne vodka walked the perfect line between "I feel alive" and "where is my water glass?" The ribeye was so tender and flavorful it could've proposed marriage and at least two of us would’ve said yes. And the crème brûlée was, frankly, rude. It had no business being that good. She handled every curveball (and there were plenty) with total grace and a calm that said, "Yeah, not a problem!" If you need someone to elevate your gathering, whether it’s a classy dinner or a psychological experiment in surprise-party misdirection—Chef Calli is it. 10/10 would confuse my friends and eat fancy again.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Consultation call where we talk through the details of your event. Then I will send sample menus based on our call, then a proposal when you’ve decided on a sample menu. Once we have finalized all the details I’ll send an invoice and we can book!
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have been catering for 8+ years and have worked with many clients! I’ve done everything from the casual brunch to multi coarse tasting menus. I have a lot of experience as a travel chef as well!
